` The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

`lo all 'whom 'it may concern: l

DREW W. TURNER, of Gardner, in theA county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machine for Turning Wooden Ware; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

. This invention relates to a new and useful machine for turning andsquaring the ends of wooden pails, tubs, keg's, and other wooden ware, and consists of a /ith sliding' transverse bars, bearing knives or cutters, and operated by levers, as hereinafter more fully described. Y

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 represents a top view, showing the arrangement of the cutters and the levers.

1:1igure2 represents a front view.

turning of the "ends being done before the bottom is pnt in, the pail boing placedin a chuck for the purpose."

Similar lett-ers of reference indicate corresponding foundation, so that they'may slide v To properly adjust the cutters pail, the foundation is confined by a central pivot, the orifice of which is seen at l),

The cutters are moved up to the pail by means of the lever 16,' which has its fulm'um at F, the Vshort end heilig conneetedwitii the, slide C at g.

The long end extends outside the pail, with a handle upon it, as seen at h; I is another lever, which is actuated by the lever E, they heilig connected together, :is seen at J.

The fulcruni of the lever L is at ligand it is connected to the slide C at L.

- m is a stationary guide.

rlhe slides4 C G' bear the cutters which square and round the edges ofthe pail.

It will be seen that this may all he done at one operation, thus greatly facilitating the work, and performing it much more perfectly than by the ordinary process.

Having thus described .our invention,

That we claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is

In combination with the foundation A, the slides C O', bearing the cutters B, the guide m, and the levers E and I, arrangedand operating substantially as described, for the `purposes set forth.
